Here is the map showing active fires throughout the northwest:

But I think a good fire in the Butter Milk Crk area would do a lot of good as long as no homes were harmed. Some of area is way overdue for A good fire.

Post by: boneaddict on August 18, 2015, 10:28:24 AM: The fire map I saw this morning showed the fire was almost to it. I wouldn't doubt it.

Some of your tag is burning hot this morning. Beaver lake fire is blowing up.
